Penang Hill Canopy Walk

Penang Hill Canopy Walk (5 March 2005)


The Penang Hill Canopy Walk is the now abandoned 150-meter long walking suspended from the tall trees in Penang Hill. It was opened in 2003 and was operational for just a few months before it was closed for repairs. From then on, it was opened and closed without much announcement. Part of the reasons why the canopy walk closed down was that it failed to attract sufficient customers. Also, the neighboring houses consider the canopy walk an intrusion on their privacy.

What to see and do

As the canopy walk is no longer in operation, one cannot walk on it for now. But one can still view it if making a walk around Penang Hill.
